Subject: Re: [xliff] charclass and XLIFF namespace identifier
Hi All,
In response to Yves's email 3/19/02 9:35:44 AM >>>
-1- charclass Attribute
Yves, Isn't CSS2 a style sheet specification? Does it allow me to
restrict the translation to Katakana or 7-bit ASCII or Uppercase without
forcing me to give other details? If I remember correctly, the reason we
didn't use CSS2 here was we felt it was like using a sledgehammer where
a tack hammer was needed. However, if it gives us what we want, i.e.
restrict the translation to some character class, without imposing a lot
of syntax, it could be acceptable. Does anyone know of something
comparable but simpler?
-2- XLIFF Namespace
I didn't know if this was verified with Karl Best, Director of
Technical Operations at OASIS, or not. According the RFC referenced, he
maintains the namespace identifiers. So I contacted him. Our thread is
included below. In summary, the namespace Yves proposes works. However,
if this NSS is pointing at the spec, should we put in the type
"document"; e.g. "urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.0"? This is based
on the the RFC3121, ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3121.txt.
cheers,
john

John:
1. Given lack of resources and mechanisms for assigning and tracking
URNs, I have made it a practice to assign to each TC a branch of the
namespace tree and allow the TC to manage that themselves.
2. Yes, the XLIFF TC owns urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:*
3. The specification branch should be resrved for approved OASIS
specs;
so until a spec is approved at the OASIS level it should exist only at
the TC level in the URN tree.
